Please share to your friends:. Microsoft Windows is a group of many GUI based operating systems developed and offered. Select your default language. If you have multiple languages. In iTunes, choose Preferences, then click Devices. This includes temporary files that your applications create in the folder or drive.
For example, Microsoft Office Word creates a copy of a document when you open it for editing. If the document's folder isn't encrypted, the temporary copy isn't encrypted-giving prying eyes a potential opportunity to view your data.
After a file or folder has been encrypted, Windows Explorer displays its name in green. This minor cosmetic detail is the only change you are likely to notice. Windows will decrypt your files on the fly as you use them and re-encrypt them when you save. To encrypt one or more files, follow the same procedure as for folders.
You'll see a different confirmation message to remind you that the file's folder is not encrypted and to give you an opportunity to encrypt it. You generally don't want to encrypt individual files, because the information you intend to protect can too easily become decrypted without your knowledge. For example, with some applications, when you open a document for editing, the application creates a copy of the original document. When you save the document after editing, the application saves the copy-which is not encrypted-and deletes the original, encrypted document.
Static files that you use for reference only-but never for editing-can safely be encrypted without encrypting the parent folder. Even in that situation, however, you'll probably find it simpler to encrypt the whole folder. BitLocker can secure a drive against attacks that involve circumventing the operating system or removing the drive to another computer.
BitLocker is a powerful tool that can more than ruin your day if you don't know what you are doing. Because under some circumstances it can lock you out of your own computer or data, we recommend that before you apply BitLocker to your own systems you carefully read two white papers from Microsoft: "BitLocker Drive Encryption Deployment Guide for Windows 7" w7io.
If it's lost or stolen, the thief will be unable to access the data without the password. BitLocker To Go will ask how you want to unlock the encrypted drive-with a password, a smart card, or both. After you have made your selections and confirmed your intentions, the software will give you the opportunity to save and print your recovery key.
Your recovery key is a system-generated, character, numeric backup password. If you lose the password you assign to the encrypted disk, you can recover your data with the recovery key.
